Bella Terra's Mindfulness Meditation Programs

Meditation with horses is simply an amazing experience and unlike typical meditations.
Join us to experience this unique and active meditation experience to connect in the present moment while relaxing and rejuvenating.
Horses offer us their gift of coherence and we’ll join them through heart-focused meditations.
​You'll learn about the benefits integrating a 3-minute coherence meditation into your daily routine.
​
No experience with horses or meditation is needed. This is a guided meditation so you can simply follow along.

This is a great experience for individuals, a group of friends, families, teams, and business groups.
​For groups and business teams, we can add additional mindful activities and/or explore Mindful Leadership.
